With the latest
Zune announcements I want to see an interview with the Zune team. That software looks neat, almost like it might be based on WPF? I also want to see what the new interface on the Zunes will be. I can't wait to update my current Zune 30. For now I must suffer
with the old

I have to say, I'm really impressed with the new zunes. Wireless syncing, DRM-free music store, no more three day limit... Heck, it even gets a positive response from both Engadget and its readers. Good job on pricing, too.

I read somewhere that we can now sync from Media Center, too. Does this mean the Zune software won't be necessary anymore? Because I still have no idea why you'd need special software to sync media if you already have a media center and media player that can
sync media.

But: good stuff. Way to get it right. Also, nice job on the firmware update. Now... international release will be when?

I have to admit I'm pleasantly shocked that the older zunes will get the updates too.

god damn it took you long enough, I wonder how long before you launch it in europe if ever?

I'm quite excited though, shame that 80gb is the highest, though the synching over wifi is the feature i want. It's now a big toss up for me over the Ipod Classic 160gb (no i don't listen to 160gb of music, but i hate having to cut my collection in half and
then thinking damn i want to listen to that album right now, shame it's at home) or the Zune 80.

I saw my first one yesterday, and whilst the interface was 'ok' the actual unit felt like it was going to crack each time I pressed a button - it just feels horrible to hold. Hopefully these new ones don't feel like cheap plastic ones.

On a related note, I know the Zune is based on the Gigabeat from Toshiba, but looking at poor quality pics of the Gigabeat the box looks *very* similar.

Oh My God.

There are people on Engadget asking for OSX support! ...

But here is the real kicker. Owners of the Zune Mark 1 (all three of them), will get the UI with a download. Now how is that for having a company protect your investment?

Nice to see MS step up with a blinder.

Dear God I may actually buy one ....

As someone who has rubbished the Zune on more than one occasion:

I'm eating a big slice of humble pie, cooked in the oven of shame at gas mark 'egg on my face' ...
